About

Blacksad: Under the Skin drops you into 1950s New York where a feline detective follows a trail of secrets through crime-ridden alleyways and shadowy boxing gyms. You interrogate suspects, piece together clues from environments, and solve puzzles that blend noir storytelling with point-and-click mechanics. The narrative unfolds through sharp dialogue choices and environmental exploration as you untangle a web of corruption linking a murdered club owner and a vanished athlete. The Limited Edition adds collectible flair with art prints, a 3D lenticular poster, and a stylized box set.

The physical extras make it a standout pick for fans of Pendulo’s artistic style and retro crime fiction.
